mr. mocha

Not sure how this began, but Bethie June has accumulated an eclectic, ever expanding collection of sock monkeys. It's one of those 'acquired' collections rather than a 'desired' collection. In other words, Bjune doesn't adore sock monkeys...has never had a keen interest in them. But 2 Christmas's ago, with the endowment of a pair of Nick & Nora sock monkey pajamas, the obligatory collection was born. She now has sock monkey slippers, sock monkey mittens, sock monkey christmas tree ornaments, sock monkey books, sock monkey notecards...you get the idea. This year's Christmas acquisition...a gift from Wendy...was a little wind-up toy monkey who was christened Mr. Mocha. 

Check him out. [Note the part where he stops and she thumps him on the head to get him started again.] Go Mr. Mocha, go!
